When the bell rang on Friday, August 2, the little learners filed gingerly into their classrooms, donning thick spectacles, with canes aplenty and the unruliest sea of grey hair imaginable to celebrate their 100th day of school.

The News photographer Megan Fisher captured the students as they paraded in their best old-timer, golden age and over-the-hill attire.
